  • Eric Walberer
    eric walbererEric Walberer - The U.S. Air Force sent me to the Panama Canal Zone. I met an Army Chaplain there who had been a Baptist preacher. He invited me to some Gospel meetings in town. Having been raised in the Presbyterian Church, I had never heard Gospel preaching before. All I remember about Sunday School and church was having lots of fun, being good, and believing about God.

  • How are deacons recognized and acknowledged?
    How are deacons recognized and acknowledged?

    Paul addressed all the saints, the bishops (overseers), and deacons at the opening of his letter to the Philippians (verse 1). Perhaps the murmurings and disputings (2:14) and the friction between former servants (4:2, 3) necessitated this reminder that God entrusts deacon service to some saints. Each serves in his sphere without jealousy, not aspiring to recognition and a title, but serving with a focus on his work entrusted to him by the Lord. Deacons are known by their work.

    Overseers guide the assembly to entrust particular service to those who are proving themselves (1 Timothy 3:10)" TARGET="_blank">1 Timothy 3:10) by doing public deacon work (as in verse 1, the word "office" is an unsupported and unfortunate addition). This includes those responsible to preach the gospel, open Bible Readings, and minister at assembly ministry meetings. These serve as deacons. Likewise those whose full time is devoted to such work are deacons of their assembly.

    Keep all officialism outside the assembly! "Deacon" is not a badge to be worn; deacon service is a responsibility to be fulfilled (Colossians 4:17)." TARGET="_blank">Colossians 4:17).
